The series is part of the bigger entity, The Garden of Tears. It consists of prints of several sizes and shapes made using several techniques, in which the fruits and berries of the Tree of Tears are shown in a form or another, in trees, branches, seedlings, bouquets and as fruits; those darkened tears of sadness, reddish tears of anger, silently glowing tears of joy, and glimmering tears of happiness.

The Garden of Tears has been molded inside my head for so long, that I’ve also started imagine its history and culture. In my Garden of Tears the tear trees may grow from the tears of the nine Tear Artisans, or they can be bred by grafting the branches (similar as grafting of the apple trees). I imagine the Tear Artisans sitting on the very simple chairs here and there on the quiet and shadowy places in garden; they are sitting with the tear vessels in their lap, and collect the tears they have cried to be used as seeds. Their works is quiet and slow, and eternal.

The very first print of this series was finished in autumn 2016, and the three following ones I finished at the very beginning of 2017. The last five were made during spring and summer 2017.
